Five weeks after Sen. John Fetterman’s hospitalization for clinical depression, his staff says the stay is coming to an end soon, though no certain timeline was offered for his return.
“John will be out soon,” spokesperson Joe Calvello said. “Over a week but soon. Recovery is going really well. We have an amazing team at Walter Reed.”
Fetterman’s public acknowledgment in mid-February that he was suffering from depression and decision to seek treatment were heralded by many of his colleagues as a courageous disclosure about an often stigmatized topic. Intense scrutiny over his recovery and inpatient care has continued, though, after questions about his long-term health after a stroke in May.
A five-week hospital stay is considered somewhat long for inpatient depression care. But members of Fetterman’s team have said they aren’t rushing his return and they expect him to be able to return to the key requirements of his new job.
“It’s about John getting the care he needs and not rushing this,” a senior aide told The Inquirer. “Six weeks is a grain of sand in a six-year term. He’s doing what he needs to do.”

More like recovery from plastic surgery.
Fettervania really did itself pround.
Isn’t that unusual?
For a private payer, yes.
Well he should be depressed if he is aware of who his state elected to the Senate.
Fecklessman is probably finger painting with his own crap.
When I went into the hospital for my mental health I stayed a week and a half. That’s what most people stay.
And this is only after 3 weeks--imagine what he looks like now.
Will the real Uncle Festerman please stand up, please stand up…
He cannot string a complete sentence together and looks like the boss man in a prison yard gang.
Right.
Is this “soon” on the geologic scale?
I’m sure wifey is being prepped in the background to take over the job when his case is finally deemed hopeless.
Maybe they searched prison yards to find a suitable body double. 5 weeks.
But, but, but,....if the Republicans had just ran a better candidate. I hate that excuse. It takes away from the real issue - fraud and an extremely illiterate (and dependent) voting public. This guy was literally brain dead but he had a D next to his name.
Come on. Clearly the same guy after an ear transplant an a complete re-shaping of the skull. Takes time to lengthen and narrow the head that much. Re-doing the ears was probably quicker
He should run for vice president with Biden on the Dumb and Dumber ticket.
For the body double. 🤪
Based on the above I am left thinking that Fester is seriously eff’d up and it’s not just depression.
There is no way this drug addict and stroke victim beat out a nationally syndicated Dr., who was almost as popular as Oprah even.
😂 that’s very subtle of you … completely different person 😂
And I might mention I have very good health insurance and my hospital stay was covered.
Yes it’s very unusual. Sounds like he must have been suicidally depressed.
